Duke's Departments of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy is internationally recognized as a leading center for research in the evolution of the anatomy, physiology, ecology, and behavior of primates. As graduate students define a course of study and topics of research, they are encouraged to cross traditional boundaries of research. Unique research opportunities are available in many areas of behavioral and evolutionary biology, using the Duke Primate Center and paleontological fieldwork on three continents.
